Superdelegates

I live in MA.

In 2008 Hillary won the primary.

Ted Kennedy and John Kerry gave their delegate to Obama.

I didn't like it but had to get over it.

So I really don't want to listen to complaints from persons who had no problem with it then complaining about it now.

It is something people will just have to deal with.

Could decide who the nominee will be. It's just not democratic.

We don't change the rules just to help one guy. If rules need changing they are done by the party and on off years. The complaining is inappropriate.

Try to change rules to suit their needs. And only their needs.

Would you call affirmative action for white men, white male privilege or just chalk it up to patriarchal tendencies? We might need a new term for all of the me firsting and not your turning.

Enough that the loser of "the people's choice" becomes the winner, we have nothing resembling a democratic process. All bets are off if that turns out to be true.

I hope for everyone's sake, it is not.
